From the instructions in the above link:
"The boat must be greater than 4.5m (14.7 ft) in length."

Dragged my tin boat down to
Dragged my tin boat down to Otay mesa crossing at Tijuana yesterday to get my TIP. I was told they had to see the boat. Not true. To start with,
the place is difficult to find and no parking for pickup and trailer. The procedure was quite simple. All they looked at was registration, engine
serial number, trailer registration, and passport. It took a while with only one person doing it and a few people ahead of us. If I had the time, I
would have tried the internet, but leaving too soon to wait for it to come in the mail. Now I'm wondering what happens if I replace the engine in the
future. Do I have to get a new TIP? Probably won't worry about it.

Does this mean that no permit is required for a shorter boat, or that something else is required? I assume that some sort of US registration is
required.
The boat I am considering is under the 14.7 foot cutoff with the outboard removed and stored in the boat, but over that when the motor is mounted.
any advice on that?
This is an older boat and motor, if that matters.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

No permit for smaller boat less than 4.5m or for tender to yacht.

Official boat lengths are always based on the hull only, as shown on your boat registration. That is what is used for the TIP - anything over 4.5m
registered length needs a TIP. Marinas sometimes include o/b, swim grid, or other projections in the LOA because they have to rent you a space that
actually fits the overall length so it's often more than the registered length, but is irrelevant for TIP.

Interesting question as the engine serial number is on the TIP. I just replaced the 40hp outboard on my Tin boat to replace the one that was stolen.
Now the serial numbers will not match. Sounds like a lot of paper work to go through to get that changed, so I'll probably cross my fingers and deal
with it if/when it ever becomes a problem.

N. Campion it will be a problem until you sell it...not until then; unless you are transporting it and some official asks for your papers and the
serial numbers don't match up. They might consider it a stolen motor
